Narada asks Krishna(?) (who actually appears as Vishnu - all 4 arms - shankha, chakra, gada, padma) why he used this trick to kill Kalyavan when he could have killed him in a confrontation? Krishna tells him that it was to teach mankind that one doesn't need to be a god to defeat evil.

The scene switches to Rukmini's palace, and she's in her puja room w/ a band of her dancers singing her hymns in praise of Vishnu (Surprisingly, she sang about Krishna & his influence amongst the gopis, which was quite strange) Then a messenger comes to her w/ the news of Kalyavan's death. Rukmini is happy. She then discusses w/ her friends whether she's ever let Krishna know that she loves him. She tells them that if he didn't reciprocate, she'd be defiled, since she could never provide anyone else a pure love that didn't have someone else precede it.

Krishna returns to Dwaraka and finds out that Balaram is not happy. He goes into Balaram's chamber, but Balaram is busy taking body blows from the hanging beanbags (dunno what exactly they're called). Balaram tells him that since he can't punish him, he's punishing himself and leaves.

Krishna then goes to the garden where Revathy - Balaram's wife is - and falls @ her feet. She however reprimands him for the same reason, and refuses to talk to him. Krishna then leaves. Revathy is later having a discussion w/ Balaram, and he asks her to swear to him that she won't forgive Krishna. Just then, they hear Krishna on his flute, and like the Pied Piper, he lures Revathy away. After a while, when she's lost in the music, he suddenly stops She demands that he resume, and he puts in conditions that she has to forgive him herself, and get Balaram to do it as well

The explanation this serial adopted for Krishna's rationale on why he chose the way he did to get rid of Kalyavan was bizarre. It just turns concepts like 'code of conduct' in warfare on its head, and makes it seem like people should be free to break any rules Whatever!!!

I wish they had introduced Rukmini properly by first showing Vidharbha, its ruler Bhishmaka who was a vassal of Jarasandha, his son Rukmi who was a friend of his, and his sister Rukmini, who despite these alliances, admired everything she had heard about Krishna. Maybe even in the context of an argument over whether Krishna or Kamsa was right. In the ACK Krishna & Rukmini, that's how it was started. It would have made more sense than just showing some random palace, not even showing the kingdom, and then, most incredibly, Rukmini praising Krishna for enchanting the Gopis.

Krishna looked like he was trying to play Lakshman to Revathy's Sita, but the thing that struck me most about this was the statuses of both Krishna & Balaram. The serial describes both of them as the rulers, when in fact, neither was. So far, in the serial, they've not shown Ugrasena, Devaki, Vasudev or Rohini. Aren't they planning to? B'cos Ugrasena was the ruler of Dwaraka, and so he would have got to know of all this first. But aside from that, if Krishna wanted to assuage Balaram, how come Devaki or Rohini weren't there to help him, and he had to go to Revathy? But the interaction b/w them was cute.

The precap made no sense @ all. Jarasandha would have done everything they show tomorrow before the 16 wars that he ran against Krishna, not after.

On the actors, I think Hemant would have been better casted as Bhima, and Praphulla Pandey, who played Indrajit in AS Ramayan, should have played Balaram. After all, Balaram had a much hotter temper than what Hemant displayed.

Rukmini did look okay, as opposed to the trailers. Having seen Priya in BAVD, I didn't doubt that she'd do fine - just that she looks too tall to be a Rukmini, but that's subjective. Revathy was sweet as well. Soon enough, she should have 16,108 devranis to keep her busy

Revathy wasn't very tall - Gauri is average height. She was attractive, though.

Yeah, this is one major howler in what they've said so far - these events took place before Krishna moved his people to Dwaraka, not after, as shown here. But at the start of the serial, 16 wars have already taken place, and the 17th was the one that involved Kalyavan.

Krishna Leela , He is smart enough Balram rightly said woh aik chaliya hai After a while, when she's lost in the music, he suddenly stops She demands that he resume, and he puts in conditions that she has to forgive him herself, and get Balaram to do it as well i wish they hd shown the marriage or Balram and Revathy .. how they met and get married are Sagars assuming that ppl know everything about Krishna's and Balrama's life ... if so then what is the use of making
